Uluru-Kata Tjuta (Signature Walk)

Guests will be collected from Yulara before we enter the Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park to begin our journey with a warm Anangu Welcome and a briefing from our expert guides. We then head out towards the giant domes of Kata Tjuṯa to start our walking adventure at the Valley of the Winds. Featuring spectacular views of the landscape around Kata Tjuṯa from two lookouts, this elemental space offers views of riverbeds, Anangu meeting sites, and 500-million-year-old rock formations. This trail stands apart for its towering walls of stone, rocky paths, and dotted, dense vegetation.

We arrive for tonight's rest at Camp One, thoughtfully tucked into sand dunes inside the National Park. Sprawl on the viewing deck with a cold, bubbly beverage to watch our first epic sunset across Kata Tjuṯa while our guides prepare dinner under the stars. Sleep in canvas tents that offer cosy beds and space to stand or choose to snooze outside in a swag under the stars, then dream of more incredible moments to come.

We start today heading east, chasing the iridescent magic of a desert sunrise - waking up before dawn this deep inside the National Park is a pure joy experienced by few visitors until now. Breakfast is served by our guides as we bask in the day's first light before resuming our adventure to find the southern Kata Tjuṯa dune traverse. After a few hours of exploration, we rest and refresh with lunch at a shaded shelter, Wiltja.

After continuing our desert traverse, we reach Camp Two, situated halfway between Kata Tjuṯa and Uluṟu and another considerately designed site of spacious canvas tents with plush beds to comfortably spend a desert evening. Here, we restore the senses with afternoon tea and foot baths alongside a 360-degree view of the National Park. Further refreshments and dinner against a sinking sun follow, before an interpretation of the twinkling night sky by our guides then slumber beneath canvas or the stars - your choice.

We sip coffee as dawn breaks at Camp Two's lookout then breakfast and back on track to tour Mulga wood and shrubland. Our guides offer interpretation, and a keen eye might spy animal tracks in the red earth. Midway, we pause for lunch and rehydration in the cooling shade of another Wiltja.

Uluru - its shape, colours, sense - all shift and change as we move toward it at our Private Lodge – a sophisticated retreat in an incomparable part of the world that's home for the next two nights. Alongside cosy sleeping quarters that include premium linen and space for contemplation, the Lodge offers attentive hospitality and wellness therapies including massage, facials, and bathing. Tonight, a shared dinner precedes Aṉangu storytelling around the campfire before another well-deserved sleep.

Today we walk even closer to Uluru and join the Liru Walk, a storied landscape named after the ancestral battle of Kuniya and Liru. Continuing our adventure along the Lungkata Walk towards Muṯitjulu Waterhole, we pause for rest, lunch, and to learn further about Country. We are privileged to have Aṉangu Elders lead us east to the Muṯitjulu Waterhole and hear the stories and wisdom shared from generations before them.

Standing at the base of Uluru is a poignant moment of our trek together. As we take a moment to connect with our destination, it's hard to ignore the strength and energy surrounding us and what a privilege Aṉangu have gifted us to walk their land alongside them.

If conditions permit, we'll take the side trip on Uluṟu's base walk or learn even more about this place and its people at the Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa Cultural Centre which includes two Aboriginal-owned galleries.

At the Lodge, we come together for a final evening meal in the communal space, celebrating the profound experiences of the past days. Gathered around the dining table, reflections with new friends bring a powerful sense of connection, sealing the impact of this significant adventure.

On our last day together, stay curled up in bed a little longer, or soak in the final embracing sunrise of this great walk. A long, lazy breakfast then there's space to socialise and continue the celebration of accomplishment - we did it. Take time to indulge in the Lodge's exclusive location before we pack up, absorbing vistas of Uluṟu rarely seen like this. After a late check-out, we walk a short distance to transport that takes us back to Yulara. We deliver you to your hotel or the airport in time for departing flights and bid farewell, until we walk again.
